Having the BEST job ever!

So, what better way to feed my habit than to work in a clothing store. But not just any clothing store, mind you.

No siree.

When I moved to Texas I fell in love with a boutique called Runway Seven.

I first stumbled upon it when I was staying in Fort Worth for a few days and THEN (choir sings!)....

I found out there was one in my own 'hood.

As a matter of fact I shopped there so often that the manager offered me a job.

I said yes.

And so, the love affair continues.

Because the only think I love more than shopping there is working there!﻿

For the most part our things are what I'd call 'gypsy cowgirl' - something you could wear cowboy boots with, but can also slip on a pair of Tori Burch flats if you're not the cowboy boot wearin' type.

﻿

I have been here since October.

I love my boss.

I love my co-workers.

I love my customers (many have become friends).

The best part?

Besides the discount, you mean?

Well, how about minimal stress? NO drama?

(Two big things that can keep a person from having a happy/positive life).

Between Runway Seven, Hillbilly Debutante, upcoming book signings and working on my next book, I'm a pretty busy girl.

But a happy one, too!

I've been writing a lot about living a positive and happy life.

What makes one happy, of course differs from person to person, but as for me, I have never equated making or having a lot of money with happiness.

Happiness to me is spending large amounts of time with family (especiallygrandchildren), having a home filled with things that I love (The HillbillyHacienda), a reliable car that gets me where I need to go (Clemontine, my 10 year old lemon yellow mini-cooper), wonderful friends and neighbors (thatalso happen to be family), a lazy dog that camps in front of the fireplace (Sally) and a God who loves me.
